Illinoisans could get digital driver’s license if bill advances – Center Square

House Republicans raised concerns about law enforcement abusing their authority and illegally searching and seizing cell phones that house the digital ID. “If a law enforcement agent shows up to your home and you invite them in for a cup of coffee, you’ve then consented to a search of your premises … how does that theory hold when you’re dealing with a cell phone,” said state Rep. Jeff Keicher.

“I think this will benefit people who have got to drive a while to get to a [DMV] facility,” said Buckner. 

Am I missing something? The DMV no longer hands out licensees, they are mailed. If the long drive is problem then why can’t we renew online? ( I forget, do we get one auto-renewal if no tickets?)

Since it is supposedly a hardship for certain people to get a license and therefore we cannot have voter ID, does this cure that problem?
